event: new and improved

[mayfield_mods]

Beginning in the morning on January 29, those who died since the destruction of the revival machine will start returning to Mayfield. However, this won't be the waking up whole and in bed sort of revival Mayfield residents are used to.

Revived characters will appear on the street outside the Mayfield hospital. Aside from the cause of their death, they will still be in the same state they were when they died. So, for example, the bulletwound to the head may be gone, but their head will still be covered in blood. There will also be side effects coming along with revival. Some of the following symptoms will be present, although their severity is up to the player. You can combine elements in any way you wish.



Incomplete revival - Symptoms may indicate a character is only partially alive; in extreme cases they will physically appear to be a reanimated corpse.
- Weak pulse and low blood pressure
- No pulse, heartbeat or blood movement
- Wounds are still present, but blood has congealed
- Extremely low body temperature
- Inability to eat or drink
- Inability to breathe
Incomplete healing - Characters have been revived, but the cause of death has not been removed. In extreme cases, characters may die again immediately after revival.
- Wounds and physical effects (i.e. poison, illness) are present but reduced to non-fatal levels
- Wounds and physical effects are present and fatal
- Characters retain a pre-death emotional state: heightened adrenaline levels, fear and anxiety, shock, etc.
- Wounds and physical effects may gradually reappear and worsen
- Immediate revival; characters will die and revive instantly many times in a row.
Emotional changes - Characters experience emotional changes from the process. In extreme cases, characters may be brought back, but without their memories, personality, or ability to feel emotions.
- Dimished capacity to feel emotion
- Loss of the ability to feel emotion entirely
- Heightened feelings of anger, violence, and despair
- Short term memory loss, particularly relating to the character's death or of Mayfield
- Full or partial amnesia
Nightmare state - Characters will experience disturbing hallucinations, visions, and nightmares. In extreme cases, they will be in a constant state of terror.
- Memory of death; characters will feel as though they were conscious for the entire time they were dead, and were trapped in an empty void for what seemed like an endless amount of time.
- Hallucinations; characters will hallucinate disturbing and terrifying visions.
- Nightmares; characters will have incredibly disturbing and terrifying visions that may occur whenever they attempt to sleep, or every time they close their eyes.
- False reality; characters will feel as though they are still dead, the reality they've returned to is false, and everyone around them is to be distrusted.
Droning
- Characters may return as drones for a period of time
- 'Drone' emotional state; character is not droned, but will only experience artificially positive emotions.
- 'Glitching'; character will only be able to cycle through a few stock drone phrases.

Additionally, the corpses of revived characters will not disappear upon revival, so they may come home to a little surprise waiting for them.



These effects will last until the end of the event, although the player can decide if they fade, increase, or stay the same over time. You can now revive a dead character at any time during the event (although their revival will have to be 24 hours or more after their death), but you must do one of these complications. If you signed a dead character up for surgery, you may choose to have them revived directly on the operating table. All characters will be revived at the end of the event.
